10 MORE Surprising Meanings Behind Famous Wrestling Attires

Only the coolest wrestler in company history could get away with wearing a fabulously unfashionable tearaway tracksuit for the better part of three months, not least because of a boob job.

That might simplify the pectoral problems of 'The Great One', but he admitted to opting for gynecomastia reduction in late-1998 as he rose to WWE's summit.

The shrinkage was perhaps one of the shrewder moves he made during a lightning-quick ascension through the ranks. By the time a full time career in Hollywood came calling in 2002, he was far removed from the infamous spell masking his physical insecurities following the operation. His brutal battles with Mick Foley around this time were such that few even bothered to question why he wasn't decked out in his normal attire. The multitude of stipulations in their encounters almost seemed to warrant it.

By WrestleMania 15, 'The Great One' was thankfully back in his more traditional ensemble, though that match too would be cursed by the wardrobe gods. Title challenger Stone Cold Steve Austin somehow misplaced his trademark entrance vest, and had to storm to the ring in a t-shirt. The aesthetic adjustment was, for a brief moment, genuinely jarring.
